Guten Tag!

In addition to forming the Prairie Wildlife Team, RMAD is organizing a committed task force to take on the City of Boulder’s new plan to eliminate the majority of prairie dogs from city and county land. This task force is meeting tonight to discuss, evaluate, and strategize how to save the lives of these prairie dogs. Be prepared! We’ll be sending course-of-action alerts to enable you to voice your support for our wild, burrowing friends.

Thanks to our friend Tamara over at Campus Publishing, RMAD will be running a vegetarian ad in a CU-targeted publication. You can read more Campus Publishing and other RMAD community members at http://www.rmad.org/community.html#Advertising.


Help RMAD name our youth-oriented vegetarian publication and win a $25 gift certificate to the Boulder Coop or Watercourse (your choice)! Simply come up with a short, catchy, Colorado-themed name for our publication and send it to vegcolorado@rmad.org. The publication is intended for youth (ages 11-17), and though serious in tone, will be visually catching. The cover will likely be featuring the artwork of a well-known cartoonist, while the content will have realistic (but not overly graphic) photos of animals. If yours is chosen, you win. Easy!

Volunteer Opportunities:

A lot of new chances to help out! If you would like to volunteer, or for more information, please email Paula Lewis at volunteer@rmad.org or call the RMAD office at 303-449-4422.
